Re: [rtems-users] microwindows 0.90-rtems 4.7-pc386 - executing demo problems

We got that error when we were getting started as well. Turned out that we needed to actually create and install a framebuffer driver (/dev/fb0). Using Rosimildo da Silva's patch for rtems as a starting point, this is what we had to do:

1) In rtemscfg.h, changed the CONFIGURE_LIBIO_MAXIMUM_FILE_DESCRIPTORS define to allow more devices.
2) Added MY_FRAMEBUFFER_DRIVER_TABLE_ENTRY to the Device_drivers table
3) Defined MY_FRAMEBUFFER_DRIVER_TABLE_ENTRY in framebuffer_driver.h
4) Wrote functions FB_Initialize, FB_Open, FB_Close, and FB_Control.

Everything else is pretty hardware specific but this should get you started. 

Can you post your build and configure options for using MicroWindows
to the Wiki?

FWIW it would be nice if we could get a /dev/fb0 implementation for
the pc386 BSP which is appropriately licensed.

Hope this helps,

Hello all,

I've compiled microwindows demo for pc386 bsp.

Trying to run wdemo on real pc and bochs too, I found problem in getting access to /dev/fb0.

In microwindows/src/scr_rtems.c :

....
static PSD
fb_open(PSD psd)
{
        char *  env;
        int     type, visual;
        int     tty;
        PSUBDRIVER subdriver;
        struct fb_screeninfo fb_info;

        assert(status < 2);

        /* locate and open framebuffer, get info*/
        if(!(env = getenv("FRAMEBUFFER")))
                env = "/dev/fb0";
        fb = open( env, O_RDWR);
        if(fb < 0) {
                EPRINTF("Error opening %s: %m\n", env);
     return NULL;
  }

Call to open() always returns -1.

Anyone may help?

Thanks.
